· shares below are over the Indiana arrest records we index; approximate, not an official figure
Indiana arrests by charge type: the statewide booking picture. About 813,000 records across Indiana, read as a whole; approximate, not an official figure.
Among the Indiana arrest records we index that state a charge, the most common category of categorised charges is public order, trespass and property damage (27%), followed by drug possession (24%) and assault, battery and threats (18%). A record can carry charges in several categories, so the shares of categorised charges can add to more than 100%. Across all Indiana criminal records on our index, the most common category is drug possession (34%).
How recent. About 1% of the records show activity in the last 12 months, among the 91% that carry a date.
Every figure is a share of the records we index for Indiana, rounded; approximate, not an official figure. Cells with too few records behind them are left out rather than shown as zero. The county pages carry the same picture for each county where enough records exist; criminal charge types explains the categories.
Indiana warrant search and arrest record outcomes.
Indiana publishes no statewide warrant list that is part of our search; some county pages carry a county warrant source, and otherwise the sheriff's office or the clerk is the place to ask. Indiana's statewide court source is in the search too, so an arrest result can be read next to how the case ended.
An arrest is not a conviction. The guide to arrest records explains the three records a case leaves behind, and the warrant search what a published warrant does and does not say.
Beyond Indiana arrest records: jail rosters and court records by county. The same counties, the other two questions.

Indiana arrest records FAQ
How do I look up Indiana arrest records by county?
Pick the county below and search the name. Each county page reaches that county's jail bookings and Indiana's statewide court source, and labels each result by record type. 10 counties have a page.
Does Indiana publish a statewide warrant list?
Not one that is part of our search. To check for a warrant, ask the county sheriff's office or the Clerk of the Circuit Court; some county pages carry a county warrant source.
Is an arrest in Indiana a conviction?
No. An arrest record says a person was booked on a date on the charges recorded at booking. Whether a charge was filed, reduced, dismissed or ended in a conviction is decided in the Circuit and Superior Courts, and only the court record shows that.
Does OffenderSearch show Indiana mugshots?
No. The county pages show no booking photos and OffenderSearch never charges to remove one. Where a county publishes a photo it is on the sheriff's official roster.
Can Indiana arrest records be used for hiring or renting?
Not from here. A search on this site is not a consumer report; employers and landlords need an FCRA-regulated report with the person's written consent, and many states limit how an arrest without a conviction may be used.
